Sorry if another person invented this and already posted it....
My wife is always after me to get rid of stuff. Every time I go to the state fair, a car show where you "win" door prizes you don't really want, or go to any place there's marketing, folks think you need still MORE coozies!
So I have a few and my wife wanted them out of the house. But gee, these are NEW, unused!
So I took them out and walked past those ratchet straps I used to hold the water heater in the back of the truck - I got them rolled up but not put away back under the back seat of the JT. I wanted some rubber bands - but no, those rot and fall apart and make a mess - ok, some twisty-ties - naw, those are wire and get yucky and rust when wet...... then I compared - hey, rolled up neatly those are about the same size as a pop can partially flattened. So I picked up those straps, and tried one in the coozies I was trying to find a place for before trashing them.
Problem solved - don't have to trash new coozies and put more stuff in the landfill, and won't have those straps RATTLING and getting loose and tangled under the back seat.
Now to find more coozies! LOL
